@l-andorrà Thank you so much - something so simple. All fixed.
You are a gentleman and a scholar.
Cheers

@l-andorrà OK - Many thanks

Hi All,
EA works on all Forex but on Indices just deletes orders without entering any trades.
Could anyone suggest a reason why not working on Indices? Do Indices require different setting or something?
Many thanks,
Jim

Hi All,
I created my first very simple Script to place a Pending Buy and Sell order on execution.
One block Pending Buy Order with Create OCO Order set to yes.
However when load it into Scripts in MT5 cannot drag onto chart or anything.
Is there something I'm missing that needs to be done to enable script to work?
Many thanks,
Jim

@tipsywisdom Yep it works now - thanks for your help mate.
I have been having trouble with all my EAs in MT5 so I reinstalled MT5 and just quickly made that MACD to test - when it didn't work I incorrectly assumed it was some other problem. But luckily you sorted me out.
Thanks TipsyWisdom you are a gentleman and a scholar!

Hey TipsyWisdom,
Thanks for your reply but still doesn't take any trades!?!
Does it work on your MT5?
I can't get any EA created with fxdreema to work on MT5 - yet all my MT4 ones are fine.
Dunno WTF...

Hi fellow fxdreemers,
I'm having trouble getting any EA to work using MT5.
I've made heaps with MT4 with no problems, but cannot get anything to work if build with MT5.
Live or strategy tester just nothing happens.
Could someone please have a look at this very simple MACD Sell EA example and see if works on their MT5, or if you can see why it doesn't work.
Many thanks boys and girls,
Jim

@cedietradermax Can still only copy and paste one block at a time. Can't seem to select multiple blocks - obviously doing something wrong ... thanks for your reply, I'll keep trying because says can copy and paste multiple blocks

Hi all,
Is it possible to Copy and Paste the whole area - ie Copy and Paste Area#1 including blocks contained within?
Or even select multiple blocks (ie 20 and 21) at once to Copy and Paste?
Have tried "Shift + click" and "Ctrl + click" but doesn't work ....

@l-andorrà Really!?! OMFG I'm an idiot Thanks for telling me - I did not know that. I was wondering why no-one seemed to worry about it ;-))) All Good then!!

You could probably try a Condition where Value is Time Shifted forward by x mins ...

@l-andorrà Thanks for your reply
If take a Buy and candle Gaps down below Stoploss then big problems as can lose more than whole accounts balance if continues downward movement as Stoploss is above so never gets hit ....
eg:

@jim67 Sorry - didn't see that already had reply

Yes - look under Time Filters left columns of builder - under Conditions for Indicators

Maybe you could use Break Even Point instead of Trailling Stop

If enter Buy on close of Candle 1 with Stoploss of ATR.
Then Create Variable with value of Candle 1 Close minus ATR:

Then "On Trade" if Current Candle 0 Low is below Close minus ATR:

Am I correct in thinking This logic will not work because Candle 0 and 1 always updating so Close minus ATR always updating and So is Not the same as Trade Entry Stoploss...

Hi All,
For a Buy position, How would I close a trade if it were to Gap below stoploss?
Cannot see how to select the actual Stoploss as a level, so if Candle 0 opens below it (for a buy) then close that trade?

I am getting "Crital runtime error 565 ...." on any EA when trying to use MT5.
I have made EAs in MT4 without any problems.
Does anyone know what this error means:
2021.06.01 12:50:30.447 Core 7 pass 5 tested with error "critical runtime error 565 in OnTick function (error code 565, module Experts.......

I don't understand coding - that's why I use (and love) FxDreema (for MT4 at least) - can't get it to work for MT5
